Lobby Chair ES 108

Charles & Ray Eames, 1960

Charles and Ray Eames originally designed the Lobby Chairs to furnish lobby areas in New York City's Time & Life Building. Like all models of the Lobby Chair, the conference chair ES 108 has luxuriant leather-covered cushions that offer excellent comfort. The upholstery covers are available in different types of leather and in a wide range of colours.

The structural design of the Lobby Chair makes it comparable to the Lounge Chair in terms of comfort. It consists of three individual cushions joined together by aluminium side frames. The armchair was originally conceived to furnish lobby areas in New York's Time Life Building. In the following years, different versions were created that all have one fundamental thing in common: exceptional comfort.
The Lobby Chair is available in three versions: the ES 104 office swivel chair, the ES 108…

Eero Saarinen together with Charles Eames developed the first designs for furniture made from moulded plywood. In 1940, they submitted the Organic Chair as a joint entry to the “Organic Design in Home Furnishings” competition held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
